We had dinner here the other evening. There isn't a lot of parking out front but they have another lot for more parking. The restaurant is quaint but charming. We started with an order of mixed tempura. It was a large portion and so crispy and delicious. A great way to start. We also got some miso soup. The regular miso soup had a lot of scallions in it, which I love. We also got a clam miso soup which had a lot of clams in the shell. For drinks, we ordered a few cocktails. The Japanese Highball and the Lychee Tini were both perfect. They were blended so well and just absolutely smooth. We decided on a sushi roll. We got the James Mulligan which I think light be named after my friends brother. The yellowtail and tuna were so fresh. The bento box was next. We got a half a California roll, tempura, rice, cucumber salad, chicken karaage and salad. The karaage was so good. The outside was crispy and the chicken on the inside was tender and so flavorful. The yuzu wasabi dressing we got for the salad needs to be sold. It was just addicting. Speaking of addicting, the ghost dip ramen is totally addicting. They toast mini marshmallows tableside and add it to the dashi. The caramelized sugar takes the dashi to a whole new level. I am still thinking about that dashi. Incredible service and amazing food will make this your Japanese restaurant of choice when in Hollywood! read more

Friendly service, but that's about where the positives end. The food was disappointingly mediocre and lacked the authenticity and flavor you would expect from a Japanese restaurant. I ordered the cold soba, and my boyfriend had the Fire Ramen. Both dishes were forgettable and fell well short of expectations. What was even more frustrating was being charged an extra $2 for protein when the menu clearly states that all ramen come with a choice of protein included. Whether it was a menu issue or a staff misunderstanding, it left a bad impression. The atmosphere also felt off. Rather than a Japanese restaurant, the space had more of a tacky bar/pub vibe, which didn't match the concept or cuisine. I'm always happy to support local businesses and try new places, but this one missed the mark on food, value, and overall experience. There are simply too many better Japanese options in the area for me to consider coming back. read more

Unassuming spot at an intersection we all zoom through more than we can count. I'd describe this as easy yet delicious. I went with the Shin ramen which is part pork and part chicken broth. Savory yumminess. The waitress was adorable with a beautiful smile making the place much warmer than I'd expect. Service was QUICK. I'm talking the order was at my table within 5 minutes. Holy moly. Efficiency. With that kind of speed, it'd be a great work lunch spot! read more

Hey just got home. Payed for an egg and fire ball and charsiu with my ramen. Got none. Super disappointing. Also I was waiting there while my ramen was on the table forever. Finally the worker asks me what I'm waiting for. It was there on the table the whole time. Sad because I enjoyed this restaurant before. After this experience don't think I'm coming back ever. Sucks that I only found this out when I got home. U would think or trust that they would get your take out order right. read more

Hey LA! Looking for a delicious, family-friendly spot in Hollywood? You have to try Hollywood Shin! We kicked off the night with fun drinks, then got to experience their magical ordering cube -- tap the cube from red to green when you're ready, and your server knows it's go-time (the kids thought that was the coolest part!). For dinner, we ordered a little bit of everything: fresh sushi, flavorful curry chicken, comforting ramen, hearty udon, and finished it all off with crispy fried green tea ice cream. Every bite was so good! We absolutely loved our visit and highly recommend bringing your family or meeting up with friends for a fun night out at Hollywood Shin. read more

This review comes after me deleting a previous review of a bad experience I had with a worker here for overcharging me and trying to steal my change. The owner reached out to me afterwards and wanted to refund and offer a discounted meal/free meal on the house. I accepted and deleted the review thinking he'd make good on his end but after reaching out multiple times recently, I realize the owner is now deliberately ignoring me. Maybe because of how long it's been since the incident, maybe because I deleted the review, maybe because he was lying? Either way, after yet another bad experience I no longer want the free meal but I do still want my refund. So Jimmy when you read this just know I'm coming for just that and I will not be deleting this review. read more

Dropped in cuz of the rain and convenience. So wish I'd taken the time to drive to a known quantity ramen place. Good service is only thing keeping me from a one star rating. But awful noodles (can't call them "ramen"), the pork belly was the fattiest I've ever been served, the corn tasted freeze burned and the sushi was truck stop grade at best. Total disappointment when I wasn't even expecting much to begin with. So easy to SOoooooo much better I LA. read more

Food 100/10 Service 100/10 Ambiance 100/10 I have been coming here for years already to the point where I feel like this is home to me already. This is one of the very few places that the food has been so consistently delicious the service has been consistently perfect and the ambiance has been consistently the it place to come have dinner and enjoy every second of it. The owner of this place Tim is a remarkable human being and he definitely knows and has been knowing what to do with this place because from day 1 that I stepped foot here it immediately became one of my favorites until this very day. I swear by shin whoever knows me knows shin is my go to no matter who what where when or how SHIN is it. read more

The parking to this location is a little difficult and not a lot in the front but they do have a back area. The server we had was super nice we did go in before 9pm so there was just us and another table so the service was good and she was really nice. The food was good and came out at a reasonable time. For 3 of us to eat with 2 beers was around $80 dollars which I feel is a reasonable price for the amount of food we got. They do have a pretty good amount of seating available they also do have TVs if you like watching sports. We liked the food and service and would go back if we were in town again. read more

There were very few people in the restaurant but it was a very early dinner because we had tickets to the Hollywood Bowl. Unfortunately, we tried to order many drinks/wine/saki from the menu & we were told that they didn't have that... come to find out, the menus were new and they hadn't received their order of ingredients/items yet.

Rejoice! Hollywood Shin has reopened (April 2025). Hallelujah! Absolutely ecstatic that our favorite sushi / ramen spot is back! And just as good as ever! Great service from the nice young man named Montana. Lovely ambiance expertly created by talented and dedicated owner Tim. Incredible cuisine prepared by the super-skilled chefs. Plus, they've added exclusive extra parking down the adjacent alley! (See photo). Our party of four came for lunch - and what a veritable banquet we had. Fire ramen, Bento box, sushi, spicy edamame, tempura, green tea - all super fresh, mouthwatering and delish! Welcome back to one of the best little restaurants in Hollywood. 100 stars! read more

I've eaten here quite a few times. I've tried their ramen and sushi. For the price I would recommend going to Sushistop instead it was not very appetizing. The service was fine. The fire ramen had very few toppings you have to pay to add so I would recommend Jinya which is my favorite and walking distance. I will try again maybe they have updated some things. It's in a little strip mall which I usually love because hidden gems but overall there are better options for the price. read more

SHIN - The owners response haha - Ramen Near Me - Los Angeles, California

We popped into Shin before watching Wicked for date night and WOW. The rolls were so fresh, beautifully plated, and honestly just hit every craving I didn't even know I had. We ordered a couple different rolls -- the rock shrimp roll came out perfectly golden, fried and creamy, with just the right amount of sauce (not drowning in it, thankfully). The shrimp tempura roll was topped with a generous heap of bright orange masago that gave the best little pop with every bite. Both were balanced, savory, and super satisfying without feeling heavy. Service was friendly, the sake came out piping hot, and everything arrived quickly. The ambiance is cozy in that classic neighborhood-way -- dim lighting, warm tones, and that comforting sound of the kitchen. If you're craving solid sushi that's flavorful, fresh, and doesn't feel overly fussy, Shin is the place to visit. We'll definitely be back. read more

We came here to celebrate my cousin's birthday and were immediately let down. No host greeted us, we had to seat ourselves, and the restroom toilet wouldn't flush -- not a great start. Service was extremely slow and inattentive. Even using the service button didn't help. They ran out of the dark Sapporo my cousins ordered, and refills took forever. Food was the biggest disappointment: bland yuzu ramen, a tiny lobster roll with barely any meat, overly sweet edamame, and a bento box that tasted more like BBQ than teriyaki. My niece didn't eat her ramen at all, and we ended up getting pizza next door afterward. Overall, the dining experience lacked flavor, cleanliness, and proper service. I would not recommend this restaurant. read more

Service was friendly and attentive. Infused with technology and fun in their table side service, which adds value to the whole dining experience. Before I walked in, I presumed this might be a place for beers and drinking. Then I was surprised and satisfied with the quality of food and it's delicious flavor! Good bang for your buck too. It's the new management and obviously they are not only an enthusiast for high-tech, but also a creative brainer! Love the Ghost Dip and their nigiri combo -- Fresh and quality fish on top of the fancy way that the sushi and nigiri are delivered by a robot There is private parking in the plaza.

Shin never disappoints, and today marks my 10th official check in, and maybe 100th visit over 8 years, so I've I've proudly earned the title "Duke of SHIN," an official Yelp designation, signifying more than just regular patronage, some may say I might be an addict of their quality ramen and sushi, but no intervention needed yet! Starting off, their innovative approach includes a robot that delivers sushi-- always fun to watch. The ambiance is ever-improving, contributing to an enjoyable experience every time. The staff consistently provides top-notch service paired with exceptional food. Tim, the owner, has a soft spot for regulars. Show your support, and he's sure to treat you well. Sometimes, I swing by just for a beer and an appetizer when in the area. Speaking of conveniences, the "Hollywood Shin" app is fantastic for takeout or delivery orders. It offers points, free appetizers, and other perks. Plus, if you work in Hollywood, mention it to Tim for some extra special bonus. read more

Ordering online was fast and easy and they even have a rewards program!

Tonkotsu shio ramen 9/10 - amazing flavorful broth that isn't too salty. Good size cut of chashu. Loved the thick noodles. Seasoned egg was perfectly flavored and cooked well. Just wish the toppings portions were slightly larger. Parking is limited but lucky me I can walk over. I will definitely be back to try more of the menu! read more

Solid ramen (definitely not traditional Japanese, though) and plenty non-pork based choices. The parking is a bit of a gamble, since they share it with quite a few other businesses, but we managed because we came during slow dining hours. Their takoyaki is SUPER crispy and they keep their hot sake in a water bath at your table to maintain its temperature. The restaurant itself is pretty clean (I think they've renovated quite a bit, based on previous reviews), and the service is efficient. read more

It was easy to make a reservation on Open Table for Shin and when we got in on an early Saturday evening, it was not too crowded and the service was excellent from the moment we walked in. We were greeted and as soon as we sat down, warm hand towels were offered to wipe our hands which was a nice touch. The service was super friendly and attentive and quick. The food was really excellent and reasonably priced. There are TVs within view of all the seats which were also nice for sports fans who don't want to miss a game too. We loved our experience and would definitely want to come back again, just check these pics out for the mouth watering goodness we had! ----TL;DR---- PROS: awesome service, great food and large selection, easy to make a reservation CONS: limited parking (but we walked so it was not a big deal) BOTTOM LINE: great place for a variety of tastes for everyone. The yakitori was spot on and the sushi super fresh. read more
